So you see that everyone has their own taste. I'm not an Atari fan and didn't grow up with one. And I haven't found beat um ups interesting for years. My top 10 is: 1:Irem, best game In the Hunt. 2:Gaelco 1, best game Aligator Hunt. 3:Jaleco, best game Cybattler. 4:Toadplan 1, best game Truxton. 5:Toadplan 2, best game Hellfire. 6:Gaelco 2, best game Thunder Hoop 2. 7:Data East, best game Chain reaction. 8: Piko, best game Steel force 9 TECHNOS, best game Combat tribes. 10 will be Atari at this point. But I can't bring myself to play those games, so the cart is still neatly sealed on the shelf.
🙂 Thank you for sharing this video. 🙂 I am late for commenting on this but, I shouldn't expect too much from the Evercade version of TR because, the controllers (at the least) in TR 1 & 2, for the control mapping, should be the same as the PS1 version. 🙂 If you are going to get this version of TR, then you should give it a fair chance, by just playing the games and try to enjoy it for the way it is made now.
When you add in 3DS, SNES and NES sales plus PSP and Vita sales then overall you can claim 2 companies have dominated the console market, nobody else is even in the conversation. MS are probably 3rd, a distant 3rd, with Atari and Sega 4th and 5th in whatever order. Unit sales as opposed to cash revenue from hardware sales is always the correct metric to judge the success of a console because the money's in the software, hardware tends to be loss making or very low margin at best. And yeah the start of the 3D era was exciting, remember seeing the trailer for Ocarina at the cinema and hearing the audience audibly gasp. That gen and the N64 was what got me back into gaming in my mid 20s, I had been studying, working and partying (a lot of partying) from the last couple of years of the 80s up to Goldeneye coming out.
My mind is figuratively blown that the NES wasn't on the list 🤯
@@cyrollan, same here! I figured it would have been in the top 10 easily. I was quite shocked myself.
DS and 3ds were so sweet. I actually quit gaming for like 6 years at one point, I just happened to stop into a game store when I was waiting for my wife shopping and saw a demo for Link Between Worlds on 3ds, and it blew my f#%king mind! I bought the game and a 3ds on the spot and I was right back in!
@@Verno343, The 3ds’s are actually my favorite of all the DS’s made. I still play mine. It’s crazy how good the games still look and play on them. Great little handhelds for sure👍
DS beating the original Game Boy, wow that's a lot of screens waiting to turn yellow. I've even seen a NEW 3DS with the white turning yellow. Mad! Classic xbox was ace, just a shame Microsoft forcefully killed it off within 3 months of the xb360 coming out. I could never get into the Wii, my kids enjoyed it tho! Thanks for sharing Game Freak! 👍
@@MIKandJEAN, some of the consoles/handhelds on that list honestly shocked me lol. Thanks for watching brother!
I really loved the PSP back in the day. I thought the DS was cool as well, but those games like the God Of War series, GTA: Vice City Stories, Burnout and more ended up really drawing me into prefering the PSP much more over the Nintendo System. I actually kinda want to go and buy a PSP again, I had so many good times taking it with me on the road and everything, I used to even keep it in my gig bag and bring it with me to rehearsals and shows. I miss it.
@@jmatt781, those God of War games are what made me by a PSP! I absolutely love that series! Kratos is a fucking awesome character…one of my favorites 👍
Fantastic video, hell yeah 🤘! I was one of those weird kids who had a Game Gear rather than a Game Boy. I absolutely loved that Sega Game Gear at the time, playing the GG Shinobi and Road Rash titles. The graphics and screen clarity blew me away, until the screen started to badly fade a few years later.
@@jmatt781, I LOVED my Game Gear. My screen did the same thing until it eventually had no picture. Bummed me out and I’ve wanted to get another, but don’t want it happening again lol. Luckily, I have the whole GG collection on my Anbernic, so I just play those games on that. Glad you enjoyed the video brother!🤘
@@GameFreak1976 Those Anbernic consoles are fantastic, I have a 351P model that I picked up a few years ago. I liked it so much that I ended up eventually getting one for my son in a different color. Those are kick ass little systems!
What a list 😮. The switch is my favorite for modern day consoles. Personal retro favorites will have to be the genesis, super nintendo, ps1, ps2, ps3 and the dreamcast. I don't have a dreamcast anymore. I want to get one again. I have 1 game and that is power stone 2.
@@aqlandmirrorvideogamerandc2983, Dreamcast was a great system! Mine died on me about 5 years ago and I’m looking to getting another one as well…..if I find one at a decent price lol
@@GameFreak1976 yup they aren't cheap at all. The first time I ever played one was at my toys r us. Which is closed now. I had played the demo of sonic adventures on it and it blew my mind. I really like that sonic game. Then for one of my birthdays I got the dreamcast and that game. I lost the sonic game years ago and the console too. It happens. I hope to get it all back someday 😃
@@aqlandmirrorvideogamerandc2983, Sonic Adventures was a blast of a game! I remember having lots of fun with that one too👍
did the Jaguar make the list??
@@cyrollan, no sir. The Jaguar wasn’t even in the top 50 of total units sold. 👍
@@GameFreak1976 oh crap, was it one of the biggest flops with between 100k-200k units sold?? 😉. Hey you should try some games, emulated or not, and give your thoughts! I sure would love to watch it
@@cyrollan, I’d love to try some of the games. Surprisingly, my gamestick that has 40,000 games on it has no Jaguar emulator on it. I’ll have to check some of my handhelds to see if any are on them
@@GameFreak1976 BigPemu supports a couple of platforms, from what I hear. If you don't have a PC or compatible device, you could do the 5-10 games available on the Atari 50th collecsh! It would satisfy the six of your fans, like me, who love the platform. Heck, you might even end up loving (or at least liking) the platform yourself!
@@cyrollan, I’ve always loved Atari. It got me hooked on gaming back in 81-82’ when I got the 2600. Nothing but respect for Atari. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have what we have today. It’s crazy that I’ve played on every Atari platform except the Jaguar. Even though it flopped in sales, I still definitely want to play it. 👍
In general I agree with you. I also think that Evercade puts too many Piko and Home computer carts on the market, and far too few Arcade carts. I think it's great that Evercade has an eye for the Indie market. But here too I think there is too much quantity instead of quality. I would much rather see games with the quality of Full Void and Xeno Crisis than the games on the Indie heroes carts. Of course there are also exceptions such as Tanzer and Donut Dodo. But most of the games on those carts aren't worth my time.
I like these best games videos for different years. Good overview of the games, nostalgia for those that love them and for others an opportunity to discover something they haven't played. Game on! 🤘🤘
@@RobertCatiller67, Thanks brother! Game On!!!🤘🤘🤘
It's all just open market.... just sell and add games you do play..... thats how I add to mine.... I just picked up cib soul silver x2, cib white, cart white, black 2 cib, zelda spirit cib ...... all in my Saturday garage sales.... maybe 150 bucks.... I'll ebay them and add to my dreamcast collection , while helping someone with poke collections..... win / win
I would love a Sega arcade collection.
I think those are pretty much on the nose, maybe with a classic RPG like Landstalker or Shining force. If they need a Sega mascot them possibly Alex Kidd would show up. It really depends on how Sega wanted to play it, it would be easy enough to just pump a bunch of ROMs from the collections they do on all formats over a series of carts. BTW for N64 I want Buck Bumble, it's worse than Glover, it's effin' shocking but it does have the best title tune ever.
@@darthwiizius, I’d love a Sega collection (more so a Sega Arcade collection), but I’d be shocked if either happen. I think it’d be way too much of an asking price from Sega for a licensing agreement. I can see a Sega Super Pocket happening before a physical cart……I REALLY hope I’m wrong though.
@@GameFreak1976 I think you're right, and yeah I'd prefer an arcade cart if only for nostalgia. I'd buy a Segapocket in a heartbeat if it had Outrun and Space Harrier arcades on it (as long as when it boots it does the Dreamcast start up, of course). I can't see any Saturn stuff on Evercade because I just think that architecture is too awkward to emulate on devices at these performance levels.
Great video! Your guesses about game selection feel about right. BTW CONGRATS on getting comments from Papa Brad! Game on to 1K subscribers & beyond! 🤘🤘
@@RobertCatiller67, Thanks man! Greatly appreciated! Yeah, Papa Brad is a cool dude! Love that guy’s channels! He’s a real down to earth and honest content creator. 1k subs is coming, I’m pretty excited! I never expected the channel to grow this much to be honest. Couldn’t have done any of this without all of you!!!
A Sega Mini Pocket would be cool & have a few different looks like the Master System, Genesis or Saturn skins. There are tons of Sega players out there & that would definitely help out EverCade to grab more Retro Players!
@@erneststackhouse1133. 100% agree! I can see a Sega Super Pocket happening before a cart.
I will be very surprised if we see a SEGA collection.
@@Andre4sH, I agree. It’ll shock me if Sega negotiates with them at a reasonable price
If we ever get a Sega Collection it's definitely going to be a Mega Drive/Genesis Collection and not the best ones. I'd personally love to see a Shining Force Collection :-) Keep up the awesome work!
@@jayme69, I’d love a Sega Arcade cart, but doubt Blaze can afford the license lol
It wil probably bring games released on the Genesis mini. Shadow dancer, Sonic, Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2 etc etc. Good games. But nothing we havent seen 10 times already. A lot of games on your list arent Sega games. They where released on a Sega console. But Treasure developed Dynamite heady and Gunstar heroes. So, if the would ever come to Evercade. It has to come on a Treasure cart.
@@dirkb9788, yup….they were just published by Sega. My point of the video was to everyone who is hoping for a Sega collection cart (I’d personally love one), to not expect a cart filled with big names. I could see them maybe throwing 1 bigger name on it. But I’m also very doubtful that Blaze could afford a license agreement with them. I’d be shocked if they do.
I wish we would get the sonic games like the collection we had for newer systems but on the evercade maybe we'll get newer games that can work on all systems including the evercade.
I'd say a sega saturn collection... only sega can master that
@@theelitedragon2x317, that’d be awesome! Saturn has some great games!
It would be a rehash of every Genesis collection ever.
Maybe Blaze does not give us the best only because of money. Maybe they don’t have enough money to buy certain licenses. Or the original developers just don’t want to.
@@BURRITO44, I think it’s most likely a money issue. Hopefully these new Giga carts sell well and they bring in more money for better licenses👍
Are you trying to say Letchworth's leading console platform manufacturer based out of a small unit in a small industrial estate and a rented office in the Spirella building near the town centre can't hang with the big boys?
@@darthwiizius, that’s why I support Blaze even if I don’t agree with everything they do. I want them to succeed. I hope these Giga carts sell well in the future and bring in some good profits. At least if that happens, they have a fighting chance to do business with the big boys👍
@@GameFreak1976 Yeah, I was quite shocked when I saw they were doing consoles and carts in the first place. They mostly used to make cheap cables and peripherals, I still have a blaze Gamecube controller extension cable of theirs (in purple of course) plugged in, I bought it the day I bought the Cube from Blockbuster in Letchworth town centre. So in fairness cheap but not terrible. They've done really well considering their scale as a business, I think if someone tried to convince an investor this was a good idea they'd be laughed at but they've kind of made it work. Plucky underdogs are worth getting behind, and who knows where it could lead eh?
@@darthwiizius, for sure man! I had no clue they used to make cables and controllers. I only knew of their old cheaper handhelds lol. I never realized they pretty much dipped into all sorts of gaming merch. Thanks for that information 👍….Now I want to read up more on their past endeavors.
Great video
@@BURRITO44, thanks brother!!!🤘🤘🤘
Aero the Acrobat should have been concealed like a small town with a history of toxic waste: it brings down the property value for all of the adjacent lots...
_AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'D GIVE YOU THE SNES VERSIONS ONLY, NOT THE SEGA VERSIONS!_
@@VEGANVANIA, I agree! They’re HORRIBLE games! I put them right down there with “menu style fighting” RPG’s. Though completely different, both are the chocolate starfish of the gaming world.
You mention Ristar and Gunstar Heroes and it occurred to me why they have not been on my radar to collect. They are both going for upwards of $70! If Evercade made a cart with just these two gems and nothing else, it would make the cart more than worthwhile to buy.
@@itsjustagamechannel, they’re not my favorite, but they’re decent games. I didn’t realize they were selling for that much! Yeah, just those 2 games on a $20 cart would make it worth the money for sure👍
Sega supported the iiRcade. Sega supported the original Ouya. Never forget.
Nice to see a bit of Sega! Yeah, if Blaze do indeed get to choose they think if it's ultra rare we want it and why we get a lot of average games in with the two good ones.😉 Your cart was missing the icing on the cake..., the unwanted Puzzle game lol. No prizes for guessing which game. And you just know Gain Ground would be there just to annoy everyone ha! If they stretched it out to two carts and added Fatal Labyrinth to the lineup, the bonus game would Last Battle. 😆 Cheers Game Freak! 👍
@@MIKandJEAN, cheers my friend!🍻🍻🍻 Are you talking Columns? 😂
You are correct. 😂👍
ATP is a real life sporting organization so you don't have to worry about that one.
@@KeenRetroGames, good point! That totally slipped my mind. That license would be a fortune.
Name a single Sunsoft or Data East game they should have included that they didn't. Except you can't include any Batman, Marvel, Sega, the Data East games that Paon or other companies ended up owning, or other licensed games. Seriously. Name ONE.
@@KeenRetroGames, that’s kinda my point with Sunsoft. I personally don’t think the Sunsoft cart was a good idea if they couldn’t get the licenses for the better games that made Sunsoft a great company. Instead they released carts with subpar games (besides Blaster Master). The Blaster master games are the only reasons I purchased the carts. As far as Data East, Act Fancer: Cybernetic Hyper weapon could have been added. It’s not a great game, but better than every game on the Data East 2 Arcade cart coming out in October. It’s also better than 3 or so games on the Data East arcade 1 cart. Even Heavy Barrel would have been a decent pick.
@@GameFreak1976 Gimmick and Ufouria are two of the best games we have on Evercade. Blaster Master and Silius are up there too. The Aero games aren't the best but we don't have many mascot platformers since Piko 1. Besides, what other games are we going to get from the people who made Metroid Prime?
Pri Pri is a pain in the butt but I really like it. We don't have very many games like that at all.
@@GameFreak1976 Act Fancer is the third game in the Darwin trilogy, hopefully they'll put it on the third DeCo arcade cart. I really like B-Wings. Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory and Super BurgerTime aren't as good as the original BurgerTime but they're not bad. Shoot Out is really interesting and I really enjoyed it, it's unlike anything we have. Last Mission is a multidirectional shooter in the vein of Thunder Force II, Bosconian, or Vanguard II... I haven't played it but it looks really cool. Express Raider has a great concept but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, I admit. Super Real Darwin is one of my least favorite shooters. Midnight Resistance is one of the best run n guns we could get other than Contra. Crude Buster, aka Two Crude Dudes, is not really my thing but a lot of people love it. Trio the Punch is one of the weirdest games around and that is worth something to me. Edward Randy looks unique and fun. Joe and Mac Returns is Tumblepop 3, and Tumblepop is another of the best games we have on Evercade.
I was bored yesterday morning, ended up brewing up a big mug of coffee and played through Rod Land on the Jaleco Arcade collection for some reason. After the headache I received saving "Mom" from the goofy "Demon" in that game, dealing with those slow ass, unresponsive controls, I would almost rather be hit over the head with an actual rod than play through that boring, repetitive game again. 😂
I honestly did enjoy the shooters, and that beat em up on that Jaleco Collection though. Astyanax was also alright, not the worst collection I've played, I ended up getting some fun out of that cart.
@@jmatt781, 😂😂😂😂
You totally hit the nail on the head with this video brother. I couldn't agree more. Honestly, I'd love to see a Sega Arcade cart much more than a few console ports. I did enjoy playing Ristar and Gun Star Heroes, but I already have so many different ways to play those titles. That upcoming Toaplan Arcade 3 cart does give me hope that we'll still see some awesome shit in the future, I guess that we'll just have to wait and see with our fingers crossed.
@@jmatt781, same here! If Sega would allow Blaze, I’d definitely rather have an arcade cart. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’ll happen because of the cost. Toaplan 3 definitely gives me hope of better things to come….however, so did the end of 2023 😂
If they did a megadrive cart, it would probably be a lot like that, and that's fine. I'm almost certain they'd get Outrun as well.
@@genejoke8538, I don’t know how I forgot about Outrun lol. I agree, that’d most likely be included. Good call👍
Sonic games are the only games the Evercade might get. Sega of America licenses those. Sega of Japan won't license anything else.
@@KeenRetroGames, that would be tough negotiating a deal with Sega of Japan. I’m just wondering IF they ever did a Sonic cart, if it’d sell well since it’s on almost every platform already.
A sega cart would be awesome man. I guess we will see if it ever happens. But yes i would definitely want that. That first game looks very good for sure. I would play it. Ive always wanted to play ristar Im just curious man if you ordered lollipop chainsaw repop.
@@aqlandmirrorvideogamerandc2983, it’d be cool to have a Sega collection cart, but I just can’t see it happening to be honest. Lots of people really want one though. I haven’t ordered that game. I have so many other things on my back log at the moment lol. I haven’t even ordered any of those things either. We’ve been redecorating the house and upgrading our animals spaces outside…so that’s pretty much where my money is going right now👍
@@GameFreak1976 o ok cool man. I completely understand. Yea you are probably right about the Sega cart not happening. I would be shocked if it exactly happened.
@@aqlandmirrorvideogamerandc2983, I’d be shocked too. I think it’ll cost Blaze to much for the rights.
lol Glover! Love this channel!
Sega wants big bucks for games. iiRcade worked with them and paid a million dollars for Congo Bongo and a few others. Also SEGA insisted the games did not work with the HDMI out. SEGA to me is Dreamcast, the Sonic Games, and Golden Axe. Dreamcast was my favorite SEGA system. SEGA arcade games were great but will cost a fortune to get.
@@PapaBradLive, that what I’m thinking too. I just can’t see Blaze giving that much for licensing rights. And the Arcade games are the ones I’d prefer lol. Dreamcast was a great console! Unfortunately mine died on me about 7 years ago and I’ve yet to replace it….i really need to👍
I don’t remember where I saw this, but on another channel not too long ago they said Sega was working on a console and it would most likely play IP’s from master system through the Saturn. If that’s in the works it doesn’t seem likely they’d allow someone else to use their games.
There is a "SuperSega" console in the works but I believe the people making it are outside of Sega (kind of like a Retro Bit or Analogue company) though they said they're reaching out to Sega to possibly work together on this console. A few of the KZreadrs I saw discussing this actually thought it was a bad idea for them to reach out to Sega saying this would likely complicate the console but it will be interesting to see. It feels like a console like this would incentivize Sega to re release some games (both carts and CDs) but so far they've shown no desire to do much of anything outside of Sonic stuff.
@@Verno343, I’d definitely buy another Sega console if it happens. I remember hearing something similar. I’d be all for it 👍
Those arcade 1up countercades cost 200-250€ here in Germany (turtles,1p for example is 250)
@@dadrising6464 😮😮😮 Holy crap! I only paid $150 for my arcade 1up Marvel vs Capcom countercade (and it has a two player deck on it). My Ms. Pac-Man countercade was only $99. It’s pretty crazy how prices vary around the world. I guess even if you would have ordered one from the U.S, it still would have added up with the shipping costs.
So it's such a weird situation. IF, and that's a huge IF, IF Sega actually agreed to work with Blaze it feels like it would almost certainly come in the form of a console collection based on Genesis games. I'm pretty sure it would be similar to those Genesis collections that keep coming out on all the new consoles (or what's available on the Switch online). It would be nice to see some Master System, Sega CD, Saturn stuff but they just never seem to use that stuff. My real hope (which I also think could be realistic) would be that we get a Sega arcade cart and see some of the games on that came on the Astro City Mini. The arcade versions of Golden Axe, Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder, Space Harrier, Alien Storm, stuff like that would be outstanding! But it just seems so unlikely. Sega, well I don't have a clue what Sega wants to do as they made a big deal at the end of last year that they were returning to their roots with new Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe (and I'm definitely missing at least one more big name) games coming out this year and it's not very surprising there have been no updates to any of those as we approach August.
@@francescosmith7859, I 100% agree! An arcade cart with Sega would be great, but I highly doubt it’ll happen. A red cart would probably have some boring stuff on it.
One cart will be Crystal Dynamics as part of the Tomb Raider deal,Hopefully we won’t get another C64 Collection
@@Cotswoldknight, they’ll most likely make about 15 more C64 collections….along with PIKO lol
Sega cart would be dope!
@@ObsidianContraption, for sure! I’d prefer it to be an arcade cart though.
